nauseatedNEW - Joe The Plumber once lived in Alaska
Ever since "Joe The Plumber" became a character in Wednesday's presidential debate,
we've learned a lot more about him.
For one thing, he used to live in Alaska.
For another, he's not a plumber and his name's not Joe. Technically.
Joe Wurzelbacher's first name is Samuel, but he goes by his middle name.
He's employed as a plumber in Toledo, Ohio, but does not hold a plumber's license, as required by the county.
John McCain mentioned Joe as an example of someone who would pay more under Barack Obama's tax plan.
Wurzelbacher spoke to Obama last week and told him he was concerned about buying a plumbing business that made more than 250-thousand dollars.
It wasn't clear if he meant revenue or profits. Obama told him anyone making less than 250-thousand would get a tax cut under his plan.
The 34-year old Wurzelbacher lived in north pole and Eielson air force base for four years in the 1990s.
Although initially reported to be undecided in the presidential race, Wurzelbacher supported McCain in the primaries.
Since he was mentioned in the debate, media have also discovered that Wurzelbacher owes 12-hundred dollars in back taxes.

Palin lookalike strippers to strut in pageant
LAS VEGAS (AP) - Some spectacled strippers are looking to score some votes of their own, just for looking like Sarah Palin.
A Sin City strip club says it plans to host a lookalike contest in honor of the GOP vice presidential nominee, and is bringing in women from gentlemen's clubs all over the country to compete.
They'll be judged by club guests on how they resemble Palin while wearing a swimsuit and how well they debate, according to news release.
A vote will determine the winner. The prize? A $10,000 package including a trip to Washington for Inauguration Day in January.
Officials for Club Paradise Men's Club in Las Vegas say they're holding the contest because Palin competed as a beauty queen years ago and is widely impersonated today.
Palin came in second at the 1984 Miss Alaska pageant, taking home the Miss Congeniality award.
